Abstract
A method of routing network traffic may include routing traffic from a local network device, through a remote network location, to a third party network resource along a first path. The method may also include determining a first ranking for the first path, and determining a second ranking for a second path from the local network device to the third party network resource along a second path, the second path excluding the remote network location. The method may additionally include, based on the second ranking exceeding the first ranking by a threshold amount, rerouting the traffic along the second path.
